DERLlN, Eeuiualy -i' ho S<N"S'
strength of the government in the new
Reichstag will not be known until one
or more votes are taken. 1t is antici
pated that some members of the Center
party who opposed the Septennate in the
old Reichstag and who have been con.
verted by counsels from the Vatican,
will be returned to the new Reichstag
How many is not known. The elections
in this city have resulted unfavorably
Tor all government candidates in fo1r of
six divisions. A second ballot will be
necessary, but in each of these divisions
anti Septennate candidates have at pres
ent majority. In the first division
Talotz, New German Liberal, has 1882
and Zsdlitz Neukirch, Septennist, zoos.
In the second division Kirchow, New
German Liberal, received 6.439 and
Wolff, Septennist, Is. los. In the third
division Mnnikle, New German Liberal,
received lO4 900 and Christensen, So.
cialist, 80, 500. In all these divisions
there will be q second ballot. In the
north division it is reported that the
Socialist, Singer, is elected, but the off.
cial returns from the division have not
vet been received. In the fifth district
Faumbach, New German Liberal, has
lO,O76 and Major Blume, Septenp ist,
10000. In the sixth diviaion Hazen-
clever, Socialist, in elected by a large
majority over Grelling, New German
Liberal and Holtz, Septennate.
In the fourth division in this city
Singer, Socialist, received 2S,95S /;
Evers, Septennist, ll,97l, and Professor
Hemel, New German Liberal, 9242. In
the sixth division Hasenclever. Socialist,
received BOAST Palbe. Septennist,
1881, and Grelling, New German
Liberal, HTS. The net result of the
Berlin vote is as follows : Socialists
80, lO7, a gain OF $1,000; Sep.ennists,
1875 New German Liberals, S5,8S4.
The Government parties have gained
l3, 600 votes and the new German Liber-
ais have lost $4,000. Returns from the
provinces show losses by the new Ger
man Liberals. Herr Richter's organ,
Freisinnige Zeitung. consoles the party
by declaring that the Socialists profited
by the Radical disasters. This,
however, is not exactly the case,
The combined Conservative and
National Liberals, supporters of the
Septennate, are securing many seats
though there is no clear prospect ol
their having q working majority as the
Centreists seem to have voted in undim-
ished numbers. Forckenbeck, Bam-
berger, Hauffenberg and Gen. Vor
MoItke are reelected. Metz elected
Antoine, anti-German; Siegen returned
Stocker. A feature of the election il
the unusual number of second ballots
necessary, a fact that proves the close
ness of the contests.
An analysis of the polling shows thai
to-day's contest was uuprecedentedly
stubborn. As night advanced the ex.
citement became intense. Thousands Of
people surrounded the newspaper offices,
waiting for special editions giving re-
turns. 1t is stated that Singer and
Hasenclever have each over ~, 900 ma
jority in this city. Second ballots are q
necessity in Koenigsberg, Elberfeld
Breslau, Lubbock, Decesen, Allstadt
Frankfurt, Dantzic, Stettin, Cologne
and Munich Septennists are
elected. In Bremen, Leipsic and
Brunswick the Socialist organization
has been most complete and Socialist
electors were brought to the polls in
battalions. Two Socialists are returned
for Breslau. Richter is returned fol-
Hogen. Prince Bismarck, on appearing
at his polling station in the second divi
sion in the city, was greeted with 9
storm of cheer. According to the re
ballot arrangement it is probable tha
Berlin will be represented by three new
German Liberals and by three Socialists
